Abdelaziz Hamze rear ended a family coming home from a night on the town and tried to flee the scene. When feisty mother of two Sandra Hall attempted to stop the hit and run driver by standing in front of his minivan, Hamze rammed her and dragged the 44 year old for over two miles, killing her. He was apprehended on a flight to Athens, Greece a popular layover for those traveling to Lebanon, where Hamze is originally from.

From the Sun-Sentinel:
The suspect was pulled from an Athens-bound flight at JFK airport, at approximately 4:20 p.m., Monday afternoon, by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It is believed Hamze, who is a U.S. citizen, purchased his ticket to Greece following the murder. Athens is a common connecting point for flights to Lebanon, where Hamze is originally from.
BSO detectives identified Hamze after a man called the agency, and told investigators he had been contacted by Hamze. The caller said that several months ago he sold Hamze the 1999 Dodge minivan involved in the incident, and that Hamze had contacted him after the murder. Detectives are not releasing the content of the call between the two men at this time. In addition, a witness identified Hamze from a photo line-up.
Hamze is expected to be charged with first degree murder.
The Hall family were law abiding citizens who attempted to stop Hamze from leaving the scene of an accident and they ended up grieving for their beloved wife and mother. The murder was horrific, brutal and senseless. It is also indicative of the Arab Muslim disdain for Blacks, American or otherwise, who are considered less than human. From the same story:
“My wife got out of the car to go stand in front of him, so he wouldn’t go nowhere,” Williams said.
But when the traffic light changed to green, the unidentified driver began moving forward again. The van took off again and heard his wife protest, saying, “You ain’t going nowhere.”
Surprised and horrified, Williams chased the van on foot for a short while and begged the driver to stop so his wife could get off safely.
Then he lost sight of the van.
Detectives say Hall fell off the minivans hood and got caught in the undercarriage, Sheriff Ken Jenne said at a news conference Monday morning. The driver then dragged her for about two miles, reaching speeds up to 70 mph in the process and weaving between lanes in an attempt to shake her off. He finally left Hall dead in the 1600 block of State Road 7 in North Lauderdale.
Hamze attempted to dislodge a 44 year old mother of two from his minivan’s undercarriage like some piece of trash he picked up on the road. He dragged the screaming woman for two miles! Two miles and he never stopped, he didn’t take her to a hospital, he didn’t slow down. He could have driven around her, he could have stopped anytime and he didn’t. He didn’t think this Black woman’s life was worth the points he’d get on his license from a fender bender.
The lives and property of Blacks in Arab culture are devalued by an institutionalized racism that has its roots in the Muslim conquests of Africa. As Moses Ebe Ochonu states in his 2005 response to a Lebanese professor who denied that Muslims could be racist:
Arab racism is so deep it is inscribed in the fundamental semantic structure of the Arabic language. Till this day, the generic word or for a black person is the preface “abd,” which translates as “slave,” as in “Abd”-allah (slave or servant of God). This linguistic norm, among many other racially-charged ones, is an expressive constant which holds true for the entire Arab-speaking world regardless of dialect and orthography.
The case of the Sudan is perhaps the most vivid, poignant, and irrefutable example of Arab racism against black Africans. Let it be noted that until the Janjaweed and their racist and murderous Sudanese government backers gave a bad name to the art of hating, marginalizing, and murdering blacks, Arabs never quite saw the raiding of black villages for slaves and cattle, especially in Southern and Western Sudan, as a crime. The racism which propels these practices was increasingly authorized (and rationalized) by the discourse of the distinction, within Islam, between dar-al Islam (the abode of Islam) and dar-al-harb (the abode of war and unbelief). For many Arabs, the historical description of blacks as slaves and servile presences in the Arab world is hard to unlearn. Descriptive categories etched in received grand-narratives and myths can only be dismantled through a self-conscious (and self-critical) denunciation of prejudices constructed in a historical time and place as a function of power.
And here in America, on a sleepy back road in Florida, we see the institutionalized racism of Islam in action again, killing an American who did nothing more than stand up for law and order. More than one “liberal” has implied that I’m a racist, even though I come from an interracial family, but I would bet that none will speak out on Hamze’s racist murder of a Black woman. In their eyes, just as in Hamze’s, we just don’t matter.
Um, sorry to burst your bubble on this one but this wasn’t exactly a ‘law abiding’ couple. This woman was arrested over two dozen times in her life, as recently as last year. Doesn’t deserve a horrible death but not exactly a babe in the woods.
That night they were simply trying to do the right thing. Plenty of people have gotten arrested, does that mean that they’re not considered law abiding for the rest of their lives? If you got picked up for drunk and disorderly, then later were run over by some guy while trying to get him to stop after ramming you from behind, should I go around saying “that Eugene wasn’t really innoent though, he had a record…”
And I’ve not seen anything in the article about her dozens of arrests, maybe because the reporters have a little class and don’t delve into whether or not the murder vicitms past unrelated problems make her a model citizen.
Have a little respect for the dead.
Eugene – your comment made me feel sick. Saying that the couple weren’t “exactly ‘law abiding'” is implying that they were somehow at fault or that justice was served when this heinous crime was committed. I suppose in your world a girl in a short skirt is asking to be raped?
Why not try joining the rest of civilized society where we no longer blame the victim?
hate crime ?? are you kidding me ?
he was attacked by a bunch of crazy people how do you think he will react while panicking ?
http://www.chaaban.info/2007/06/06/abdel-aziz-hamze/
oh my god ,
how did you relate this incident to islam ,just by his name .come onnnnn
an accident happened to this poor guy ,he is educated ,he seems with a clean record yes he has some traffic speeding tickets ,who does isnt?
just try to put yourself in his shoes ,trying to check what happened and few people threatened him drunk trying to attack him all alone , wont you be freaked out ,scared ,and run and the fact he is not criminal or violent that s why he got scared and run away and who can take a good decision at that time it is freaking scary well i feel bad for the loss of this family and i feel worse for this guy who was in this situation ,it is sad .
one more thing ,why this lady and her husband did the chasing they dont know how to call the police and let the police do their job instead .
just the fact he remembered to stop on the red traffic light , he was still obeying the rules if he saw the police lights i am sure he would be stopping because he is going to feel safer .
Wow. Your both not only racists, but kind of pussys too.
Nikki are you honestly saying that a 44 year old woman and her older husband are scary? Why, because their Black? There is no report anywhere that says they attacked him, and if they did, how does that excuse the TWO MILES he drove with some old lady under his car? I mean, why not stop after the first mile?
You feel bad for a man who had a woman UNDER HIS CAR, because he was scared? If a Muslim scarred me and I dragged him two miles under a car, would you be saying the same thing?
No, because your a racist.
Chaaban, your exposing your racism, he wasn’t attacked. How was Sandra Hall attacking him while standing in front of his car? With painful glares? You’re also a racist. And I suspect a little French girl, since three middle aged slots players have the ability to make you wet your pants.
Outrageous!
Hey Rob,
Get your facts straight about “law abiding citizens”
and “Hate Crimes” for that matter
Try reading this article:

Here’s some Fun Facts about Sandra Hall from that article:
“She was feisty, and quick to argue ‘about everything,’ her brother said.
That feistiness, coupled with a take-no-guff attitude honed from years on the not-so-legal side of the street, may have compelled Sandra Hall to stand before the minivan”.
“A divorced mother of two — Latoya Arvinger, 29, and Jermaine Hall, 28 — Hall had seen the tough side of life, racking up 26 arrests since 1984, the last one in April 2006. Charges included cocaine and marijuana possession, concealed weapons violations, battery, assault, trespassing and disorderly conduct. Her convictions included possession of cocaine and narcotics equipment, robbery, carrying a concealed weapon and trespassing.”
“Family members said a wrist injury several years ago kept Hall from working. Lately, she simply focused on ‘enjoying life’.”
“The afternoon of her death, Hall whipped up enough chitlins, pork chops, ham hocks, cornbread and rice to feed about 30 people at her godmother’s home. Fishing, picnics and other outdoor activities were among Hall’s other pleasures.” (If she could do all this, you would think she could work instead of “milking the system)
“After her big feast Sunday, Hall and Williams set off for their twice-weekly session of playing slot machines at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.” (With there Welfare money)
______________________________________________________
The way I see it: Hamze is just driving along when he gets into a minor fender bender with a car he couldn’t see. It was dark and he ran into a $300 Hoop-tee Cadillac (straight out of the junk yard) with four big black people in it. The lights didn’t work on the Cadillac but yet they were still driving it in the dark (Moving Violation as I see it). After Hamze bumped into them, Sandra Hall and her boy friend Michael Williams jumped out screaming and yelling at Hamze, and he drives off in fear for his life. Then Hall and Williams jump back in there Hoop-tee with there “beer muscles” from drinking all day on the porch and all night at the Hard Rock, and chase after, wanting to cause physical harm to Hamze for scratching there $300 Hoop-De-Ville. After catching the frightened man in traffic the they surround his minivan and verbally threaten him while he remains in his locked vehicle. Then Belligerent Sandra Hall jumps on his hood as Williams approaches and Hamze in fear for his life is FORCED to drive off. He swerves a couple time to knock her off before she can harm him. She accidentally gets run over, stuck to the muffler, and dragged to her death.
Forced to drive off with a woman under his car. You’re a retarded racist. Hamze would run you and your Klanner friends down as fast as he did Sandra Hall, so why you’re defending him I don’t know, but I do know that nothing in the report of the actual crime says anything like what you say happens. In fact it is Hamze, the Muslim caught tryng to flee to Lebanon, that didn’t want to notify the police after the accident. Why would that be “Jim”? Why wouldn’t a young Muslim want to talk to the police? Hmmm.
Now you’re a “man” right, Jim? If a 44-year old woman, her slightly older husband and her mother in law and her boyfriend yelled at you, would you be frightened. If that was what happened, and it didn’t, I’d have kicked the dudes asses, you know like a man would, not run over his old lady.
Riddle me this “Jim”, exatctly how was a woman standing in front of a car going to harm a man inside the car? Why didn’t he stop after getting away? Why was he fleeing the country?
Now I know Klanners like yourself have full on betrayed their country to side with the Muslims because you hope to be in on some slave owning Jew hating caliphate action, but you’re just sad. Your scared of a car load of old folks? Doesn’t that make you a pussy?
If four people old enough to be your parents scares you, being a bigot is the least of your problems. Go buy yourself a new training bra Jim, because all the racist invective you put in there makes it sound like your nipples are chaffing.
rob read this article http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/07/wheelchair.truck.ap/index.html ,this poor guy he was dragged four miles and the driver did not pay attention and the driver was not in fear and no one threatened him . i dont know the driver s name but hopefully it wont be anything with abdul other wise it would be a terror act .
one more thing i want to ask you ,what do you call west verginia tragedy ,well i call it a terror act no matter what is the guy s name . but you wont, you know why because his name was not arabic . i wonder who is racist here ?!!!!
Hey Rob,
Why is it that anyone that doesn’t agree with you is a Racist and a Pussy? That’s a reflection of yourself, Rob. Look in the mirror, what do see? A Big Black Racist Pussy; pissed off at all white people just like Sandra Hall and her boyfriend Michael Williams. Combine this, a lot of alcohol, and a fender bender with a white guy in the middle of niggger town at night and see what you get. It’s a no brainer… Like yourself, Rob…
You should research better before writing more inaccurate information. Halls boyfriend Michael Williams is a large 25 year old/young man, not old enough to my parent, but young enough to be my son. Hamze is a small 24 year old well educated man. The intersection of Riverland Road and State Road Seven where the “accident” happened is in the heart of niggger town with not a white person for miles. I don’t agree with what Hamze did, and would handle it much different myself, but I can clearly see where this small white guy was scared if he was threatened and scared people do stupid things.
Stupid would also be a good description of Sandra Hall. Did she think she was ten feet tall and bullet proof? Seems like it. I’ve lived in South Florida for 38 years now and have seen it turn from a peaceful to a very hateful place to live. You don’t provoke a situation like this; you have no idea who your dealing with anymore (black or white). Get the tag number and call the police, unless of coarse you’ve been drinking all day and your “feisty and quick to argue about everything” as Sandra Halls brother described her. Then get your dumb ass killed like her; for just another scratch on your shiit box Cadillac.
Nothing about this incident is etched in stone as we’ve only heard one side of this story so far. It wouldn’t surprise me if the truth comes out, that Hall and Williams threatened Hamze with weapons. And you can be guaranteed one thing, right or wrong, we’ll see Al Sharpton in town.
And Rob, don’t worry about my nipples and stop fantasizing about them too….
Jim and other people like him on here are some real dumb asses.
Ok she wasn’t exactly a model citizen.Who freaken cares!!, SHE WAS DRAGGED UNDER A CAR FOR OVER 2 MILES MORON!! Can you even grasp the horror in such an act.You are just showing you true colors. A true blue racist hater who thinks he’s so perfect. I think you need to be dragged underneath a car for a couple of miles so you can see what it feels like SCHMUCK!
That Arab scumbag should be released into the general population in prison. I’m sure the blacks in there will take really good care of him.
Wow i think the only racist are the ones calling people racist. Hamze was NOT wrong. He was terrified and i do not blame him from driving away as the physco JUMPPED on his hood, JUST LIKE HER BOYFRIEND STATED. Williams CLEARLY stated that she JUMPPED on his hood and yelled “YOU ANIT GOIN NO WHERE”. Well obviously he DID go somewhere and your dumbass got killed from her own stupidity. Oh and not to mention they were intoxicated. Hamze is not the crimical hes simply the victim. Ha an Rob you are the only pussy, because thats not being racist when your afraid of 4 black people in a car. YEAH OBVIOUSLY HAMZE IS GOING TO BE A “PUSSY” WHEN THEY WERE CHASING HIM WHEN THEY COULD HAVE EASILYYYYYYYYYYY JUST WROTE DOWN HIS TAG NUMBER. BUT NO they wanted to be typically fucking druggies off the street and look for a fight.
Abdul-Aziz Hamze is an innocent, polite, and trustworthy guy. I know him personally and because i know him personally i can stand by him in spirit to say that THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT…that this religious Muslim man would never have purposely hurt another human being unless he felt that it was absolutely necessary, unless he felt threatened, which im sure he did.
I dont think that when Eugene stated that the woman had a serious criminal record he was trying to justify the accident, i think that he was merely trying to prove that she did in fact have a criminal record and that Abdul Aziz didnt…
and whats was also left out was the fact that it wasnt only the woman and her companion in the car that night, it was clearly stated in many reports that they did have a few more people in the car with them that night…but ofcourse the mdeia wouldnt publicize that fact too much because they want to make it look like this INNOCENT MAN who just happends to be a lebanese Muslim is associated with terrorism in some way, shape, or form…Whats more is that this man is not a nationalized citizen, he was actually born in Fort Lauderdale…
And how dare anyone try to call this a hate crime? How dare anyone say that this was premeditated? It most certainly was NOT either of these things.
Nikki is right…try and put youself in his shoes. A few people walk up to your car. Drunk and disorderly behavior…whether they were black, white, asian…whatever the race may be you WILL definitely feel threatened…i would love to see a drunk woman jump on the hood of your car one day while a few of her friends surround u banging on your windows…
DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE WITH SUCH CRIMINAL HISTORY ARE GOING TO POLITELY WALK UP TO YOUR CAR AND ASK YOU TO STOP?!?! be sensible please…how can that possibly make sense to anyone? Why would this whack job of a woman climb on top of the hood while her boyfriend politely tries to speak to Abdul-Aziz? how can that make sense to someone with even the slightest bit of intelligence?…
Jim lost me with his “niggger town.” And, Noura, I don’t care how sweet poor Mr. Hamze is, or how scared he felt, you don’t run over another human being, and you deffinately don’t drag her screaming and bleeding for two miles.
Mr. Hamze deserves to be charge with murder and hopefully spend the rest of his life in prison–muslum or not.
PS
I also noticed how this “great guy’s” first response was “I didn’t do it.” After he was caught trying to flee from his crime.
Too bad they won’t get him for pre-meditated murder and fry his ass.
Wow, go out for a while and the blog hits the fan. I think it’s funny that everyone calling me a racist then uses terms like “nigger town” and claims that it’s natural to be afraid of some dude (who if you look at the pictures is a doughy, out of shape, little guy) and his 44-year old wife, her sister and her mother. That, Jimbo, is what makes you a pussy. See if some old ladies and there fat boy toy said they were going to kick my ass, it’d be on. Of course this isn’t what happened in this case.
Hamze rear ended these people as they were pulling into a gas station to see why their head lights were’t working. Hamze’s headlights were working, so clearly he was speeding if he didn’t have time to see them, but whatever. So when Williams and the Halls want to exchange information, Hamze speeds off. The Halls and Williams follow him and call the cops. At the next light they pull up and Sandra Hall stands in front of the car so Hamze will be there when the cops will come and is subsequently dragged to her death. This is what the news report says. The rest of the “facts” you’re throwing around you’re making up. Hamze didn’t tell police he was attacked, his friend in Canada told you that on his blog.
Now, let me respond to some of the more nonsensical rantings here:
A bus with a wheel char in it’s grille and Hamze with a woman under his car are different Nikki, no? The driver on a bus can claim he didn’t see this guy, Hamze knew Sandra Hall was there, after all he tried to “dislodge her” from the undercarage by swirving around the high way at high speeds.
Yes yes Noura, religious Muslims wouldn’t hurt anyone, not here, not in the Sudan, not in Thailand, not in Lebanon …
And because she was picked up for possession and fighting, her mother and her sister and this other dude are automatically violent. Be honest Noura, you want to think they attacked him because you just think Black folks act like that, the way ALL Muslims are taught to think Blacks are inferior to Arabs.
And you can’t be a racist against Muslims, by the way. Islam isn’t a race.
Oh Jim, I’m a “big Black racist”? I’m actually an average sized bi-racial man, though unlike Williams I do keep in in decent shape. See what you did there, you let your predjudice overwhelm the facts. I make it clear all over this blog I’m b-racial and I “look White”. But you envision me as a combination of Wesley Snipes and Mike Tyson because you’re naturally afraid of Black folk.
I call you a pussy because you’re point is that you should be afraid of a family outing. I fear no man, but I especially wouldn’t get all freaked out by Hall and the Williams gals. If you would, you’re missing your cojones.
I’d go on but I’m sure you guys have some more slurs to hurl. Or maybe you want to dig into some other dead womans record to “prove” that her rapist or killer isn’t getting a fair shake.
Disgusting.
Rob taylor is exetremely embarrassing. You sound exetremely stupid.
ok….. this is pretty dumb for this robb dude to be calling this racism. if you were scarred and had a woman infront of your car…thinking she might beat you up is pretty scary. for you to talk this bad about hamze is pretty dumb of you. this lady had a crimanal record.. what if she was going to kill him or somthing!!???!! im not being a racist, but im just saying that take it easy.. this man is a kind guy at heart. now puttting islam in it too is quite shocking. this has nothing to do with the religon!!!! i think you are the one that is a racist! i know now you are going to call me a pussy and a racist, but that is because you have nothing better to do than sit on your butt and call people that for no reason. he comes from a good family. listen, if you had a lady infront of you saying “you aint going no where” wouldent you be scarred, black or white or mexican! i would, espeacialy if she has a crimanal record!!! you said this story as if he is the bad guy and everyone should hate him! its not true.. hamze just made a couple of wrong choices, thats all! so before any of you start to think hamze is a bad guy, think agian! he is really smart and comes from a good family. i just think its unfair of what is happening to him right now! so please do me a favor and DONT say this is racism, cause it has nothing to do with it!! also when you call people a pussy and a racist you are being very stupied!
Mellisa/Nikki Are you Insane?
Is your argument really going to be that grown men shoould be terrified of a chubby middle aged woman? Are you really saying that men, MEN, should be terrified of being beaten up by a woman? Are you trying to imply that Hamze knew she had a criminal record?
Are you saying that if your mother stood in front of someones car yelling at them and they dragged her for two miles under their car you’d accept the “I was scarred” excuse?
You think dragging a screaming woman to her death under a car, reaching speeds in excess of 75mph in an effort to dislodge her from the car like she was garbage is a “wrong choice” and not indicative of a feeling of superiority to the victim?
Are you saying it isn’t racist to be deathly afraid of Black people, but it is racist to be critical of Islam’s inherent racism toward Blacks, even though I used the academic works of other Muslims to do so. Tell me what race Islam is Mellisa/Nikki?
I would never murder some woman, I would never fear for my life because a middle aged woman, her sister and MOTHER, and some dude had to chase me down, after I already commited another crime (the hit and run). If some guy and his two middle aged female friends and their mother threatened me, and you have no evidence but what you think Black people behave like to prove that this is what happened to Hamze, then I’d have gotten out my car and beat his ass. That’s how a man would handle it.
But Hamze, the mudering racist Muslim, was the initiator of the violence when he ran into them then fled the scene, which is illegal by the way. They called the police while chasing them, so clearly they weren’t going to hurt him, otherwise they wouldn’t have called the cops.
But what do I know, right? You’re so much smarter than I am. Not smart enough to not get caught posting under a couple of different names in an effort to make it look like Hamze has more support than he does, or to spell Rob right, or Melissa for that matter, but smart enough to “know” that being afraid of middle aged Black women isn’t a sign of bigotry. Smart enough, I guess, to know that being from a “good family” negates any crimes you commit. And you’re no bigot, assuming that a middle aged woman is in some way threatening to a man, after all if she were White or Arab and a Black guy dragged her to her death you’d say the same thing, right?
Don’t make me laugh. You say that Hamze, and all men in your experience would be terrified of a gaggle of old broads and their boy toy. I say it’s no wonder Muslim men wear dresses if that’s the case. You say I’m a racist for for being critical of racism, I say your trying to deflect people from your own disgusting attitudes. Why don’t you tell me this Mellisa/Nikki, are you saying Sandra Hall deserved it?
And at least have the guts to post under one name.
i agree with mellisa
..
I would suspect you would since you and “mellisa” and Nikki all share the same I.P. address. I’m sure you agree on a great many things.
